What's the key to healthy Christian growth in godliness?

Dane Ortlund recently asked some Christian men, "What's the key to healthy Christian growth in godliness?"

He prefaces the responses as follows: I explicitly asked our brothers to keep it to a single, short sentence. Of course, whole volumes could be (and have been!) written addressing this question. [His favorite book on the subject is G.C. Berkouwer's Studies in Dogmatics: Faith and Sanctification] ... So we gladly receive these wise statements remembering that sanctification is not a math problem. There is no formula. Every answer below needs a hundred footnotes. Point taken. The purpose of this exercise is not to provide an opportunity to nit-pick but to re-center, refresh, encourage, spur on, help one another.

Check out his post for the responses.
